In enzymology, a lysine-tRNA ligase (EC 6.1.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction ATP + L-lysine + tRNALys \rightleftharpoons AMP + diphosphate + L-lysyl-tRNALys The 3 substrat...
Survivin, also called baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 or BIRC5, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the BIRC5 gene.[1][2] NCBI Reference Sequence: NG_029069.1 Surv...
Interleukin 11 (IL-11) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL11 gene.[1] IL-11 is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated in 1990 from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. It is a key ...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small virus that infects humans and some other primate species. AAV is not currently known to cause disease and consequently the virus causes a very mild immune re...
Molecular scale electronics, also called single molecule electronics, is a branch of nanotechnology that uses single molecules, or nanoscale collections of single molecules, as electronic component...
Reducing the complexity of DNA sequences
Semiconductor lasers are diodes which are electrically pumped. Recombination of electrons and holes created by the applied current introduces optical gain. Reflection from the ends of the crystal f...
Olfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection of odor molecules. Activated olfactory receptors are the initial player in a sign...
A superscalar CPU architecture implements a form of parallelism called instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. It therefore allows faster CPU throughput than would otherwise be pos...
Targeted delivery by porphyrins
Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, cytoplasmic is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the IARS gene.[1][2] Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. ...
The ribosome is a large and complex molecular machine, found within all living cells, that serves as the site of biological protein synthesis (translation). Ribosomes link amino acids together in t...
Nucleic acid amplification
Light emitting device
xA metalloproteinase, or metalloprotease, is any protease enzyme whose catalytic mechanism involves a metal. An example of this would be meltrin which plays a significant role in the fusion of musc...
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) refer to intentional physical contacts established between two or more proteins as a result of biochemical events and/or electrostatic forces. In fact, protei...
A shuttle vector is a vector (usually a plasmid) constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species [1]. Therefore, DNA inserted into a shuttle vector can be tested or manipulated i...
An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte or a vacuum). The word was coined by William Whewell at the r...
Nucleic acid catalysts
Site-directed mutagenesis is a molecular biology method that is used to make specific and intentional changes to the DNA sequence of a gene and any gene products. Also called site-specific mutagene...
